Yes, we'll be there. We'd love to have you stop by if you have time. I'm looking forward to checking out all these teams who did something other than time-based dead reckoning! As a side note, while our setup may seem overkill, I should point out that it was basically a requirement for us. The way our crab drive works, our orientation often drifts when we try to drive in a certain direction (especially sideways). Because of this drifting, time-based dead reckoning probably wouldn't work at all for us, or at least it would be very inconsistent. I guess I don't know for sure though as we commited to our current method 100% from the beginning. We never even tried a time-based program...
